    in theory you could pass an act of parliament that says ’15 seconds after the close of polls in a general election, a new general election shall immediately be called’ and we’d just be stuck in a loop because nobody would be able to repeal it

        sci-fi novel pitch: a drafting error results in the fixed term parliament act accidentally being amended from five years to five hours, trapping the country in an election loop. each election is a race against the clock to count the votes and repeal the act before 5am next day
